Russell E. Rierson wrote: One ponders over the quantum mechanical origin of sensory qualia, for example-- hearing, vision, sense of touch, ...etc. Since only the discrete moment by moment frames of reality are imprinted on our consciousness due to the fact that energy IS quantized, then indeed, those imprints correspond to quantum jumps between quantum histories! They become snapshots of reality forming a logical sequence FOR the mind. Also, the indeterministic properties of the mesoscopic quantum states between the intrinsic neural connections, seem to be way for a quantum physical correlation to the sensory qualia, giving mind the illusion of continuity. That is to say, the passive quantum jumps change only the overall phase of subsystem's state, giving the illusion of continuous correspondence to sensory experiences. Of course there are those who, while yearning for an absolute material world, put forth the putative argument that consciousness is merely an emergent property of the brain's neural networks, that is to say the "mind = computer brain". But in between the binding, conscious-state to conscious-state transition sequence, is the indeterminate non-computable lapse. Therefore the non-computability forms the the basis of free will. One of the most intractable problems of our time, is the "mind-body problem", which involves an accounting for free will, or more precisely, a limited form of "autonomy" in that physical existence is governed by physical law. The mind-body problem also relates to conscious experience, because the problem is created with the assumption that the brain is comprised entirely of discrete non-sentient things. Yet, the neurons within the brain must work as fully integrated units in which the various parts can become a seamless fusion of efficiency. The synchronicity and timing of the integration necessitates the mind's very existence. Thus the integration is not just a function of mental activity, but it also must encompass the physiological, energetic, and psychological states. The phenomenon of synchronicity becomes the evidence that the deepest regions of the unconscious mind consist of indeterminate "psyche structures" that transcend the distinction between psyche and matter altogether. Indeterminate gaps between actualized moments provide the most fundamental degrees of perceptual freedom. Perception is necessary to bring about the transition from possible to actual, where the fundamental nature of observation in quantum theory remains partially enigmatic. The quintessential measurement problem is derived from the fact that prior to a perception, or scientific "observation", the quantum is described as being a nonlocal wave of probability distributed throughout space-time; then, after an observation, only one of the possible values becomes the actual reality. Taken from link. That the deepest regions of the unconscious mind consist of these indeterminate "psyche structures" that transcend the distinction between psyche and matter or mind and reality, explaining why mind may at times influence reality, suggests that not just the human brain, but the universe as well possesses a complex property akin to self-awareness, otherwise it could not respond and relate back to our inner-most thoughts (i.e. consciousness is a reality possessing both form and substance, making it a kind of "matter", loosely speaking, except consisting of different properties. See Reality as Unified Field.). The quantized energy causing Quantum jumps between moments that leave imprints on our consciousness only make it appear that reality is smoothly transitioning between these moments, when in fact it is a deception of the brains inability to compute these Quantum jumps/ quantized energy.
From a brief web search, the only Russell E Rierson seems to be some sort of crank. Not surprising, in view of this quantum woo gobbledegook. It really is meaningless twaddle.
